Pure joy of life - Sonnhild Kestler

"I want to inspire people with my designs , stimulate their imagination and awaken emotions." For Zurich textile designer Sonnhild Kestler, it is important to tell new stories with her work, but also to reactivate experiences in the viewer: "Abstract, archaic forms become pictorial figures or scenes that awaken personal memories and thereby come to life. BELA & ELIS should also be a canvas for your own stories and thus the emotional heart of the room." The fact that the names were chosen to be gender-neutral was a conscious decision. Both figures should leave room for interpretation: "Everyone can associate BELA & ELIS with their own story - shapes and colors should encourage people to talk to each other about these strong personalities and to be inspired by their appearance, " adds Annique Drechsle from DESIGNERCARPETS • DRECHSLE . "In addition, the two carpets themselves are small works of art: They not only reflect the design philosophy of the renowned artist, who was awarded the Swiss Grand Prix Design for her work in 2010, but are also each one of a kind. "

"Nowadays there are billions of things that you look at and immediately forget. For me it is important that the objects I design are noticed, that they touch you and become part of everyday life."
